I saw that there was recently a change to pep 8 to suggest adding a line break before a binary operator. Pep 7 suggests the opposite:

When you break a long expression at a binary operator, the operator goes at the end of the previous line, e.g.: if (type->tpdictoffset != 0 && base->tpdictoffset == 0 && type->tpdictoffset == bsize && (sizet)tsize == bsize + sizeof(PyObject *)) return 0; /* "Forgive" adding a dict only */ I imagine that some of the reasons for making the change in pep 8 for readability reasons will also translate to C; maybe pep 7 should also be updated.

I would agree with this. Passing it directly to python-dev as that's where the key decision makers are.
